Checking transactions in ganache-cli

Question

Is there a command to enter into the terminal to check past transactions on the locally deployed ganache-cli blockchain? With ganache gui one gets the transactions button. Is there some similar functionality for ganache-cli or does one have to scroll? thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can use truffle console and web3-eth API:

# connect to 'development' network
truffle console

---

Get log of the latest transaction:

truffle(development)> await web3.eth.getPastLogs({})
[
  {
    logIndex: 0,
    transactionIndex: 0,
    transactionHash: '0x8d550f02c2ad9ce0770100ea35fddcb4239605338904999bac0b44ab98d47469',
    blockHash: '0x51cfc9b9fb563729ea9791258d172e2d7e15526fa39df3cc8002d8c1e124b023',
    blockNumber: 14,
    address: '0xc8474d35f43c485A193f4619AD5dfc13E6Ef7670',
    data: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
    topics: [

      '0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006047e03d',
      '0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006047e040',
      '0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006047e041'
    ],
    type: 'mined',
    id: 'log_320edfe0'
  }
]

Get info about the n-th transaction in n-th block:

# get info about the first transaction on the 14th block
truffle(development)> await web3.eth.getTransactionFromBlock(14, 0)
{
